One More Clunker

Perhaps the streetcars of San Francisco were getting a bit upset with the lack of funding coming their way and the silly cash for clunkers program, so they decided to tag team an SUV. In all seriousness, I hope everyone is ok.

Reposting Bob Davis: My daughter sent me a link to the SFGate article with a comment referring to Laurel & Hardy. In their 1930 movie "Hog Wild", Laurel's Model T gets crunched between two LARy streetcars. In those days, you could buy a used "T-bone" for 15 or 25 bucks. SUV's are a lot more expensive.

Muni NEEDS to seriously overhaul its operational procedures. This is the third serious collision involving one LRV hitting another in the last 2 years or so. That kind of safety record is unacceptable in my mind.

I'm transitioning my writing over to my other site which was previously called The Direct Transfer. People seemed to be confused by the differences in brand between The Overhead Wire and The Direct Transfer so I made a change and combined the two as The Overhead Wire.

This page will continue to be here and will still be updated sparingly as it has over the last few years, however new original analysis and writing will be featured at TheOverheadWire.com in addition to the news archive and The Overhead Wire Daily email.
